That site is infamous for inventing its own data, and shouldnt be relied on for anything other than the broadest possible generalisation about sales trends. Which is that the 360 hasn't sold particularly well in the time its been out, the PS3 is doing approximately the same as the 360 did, and the W...

Yes, its awesome.

But it doesn't play at all like you would expect it to.

It's more like a side scrolling shooter (a lá Contra) than a platform hack and slash like you might think it is.

There's 2 sets of DLC. One is a bunch of new weapons and cars, the other is a bunch of bug fixes and a 'cheatmode' (plus some other stuff, like it tracks all of the cars youve stolen, and by returning them to the garage you can select any car you've previously robbed to drive out with instead of jus...

I did this on my SNES 'back in the day' when it was unveiled as a secret in Super PLAY magazine.

It was cool. In fact you could say it was down-right-fierce.

I never heard of such a thing. I've only seen the black, silver, and retro ones. We didn't get the retro one, we got silver, black, metallic green, metallic blue and metallic pink instead. http://www.darkplanets.co.uk/images/shop/GBA-Micro-Pink.gif Eh, I don't see the point. You can get the GBA SP ...

The PS3 controllers have a 'guide' button that you need to press to boot into a PS2 / PS1 game. Standard USB converters dont have these. Nor do DualShocks. Its the reason Guitar Hero doesn't work, because it plugs into the controller port not the USB socket natively (unlike SingStar and Buzz). Point...

I found Crackdown much more fun than Gears Of War (which only has replay value in online or splitscreen co-op).

Especially with the new (free) DLC that just got released for it.
'Keys to the city' is fun as hell.

is it just the face plate thats pink or the entire console? and can you get face plates now? i remember people moaning about the fact that you couldn't get them. For someone who isn't bothered about it being pink, you seem to be really concerned about whether it is pink or not :P heh, just curious ...

Try and join my 'trade' rather than 'play' - I think you keep trying to fight my level 1 eevees lol.

The Pink GBA Micros are a very metallic deep red / pink anyway. They're not as full on girly accessory as the pink DS or PSP are.
